Description Luke 2019-01-06 13:58:08 UTC
This was reported to rpmfusion bugzilla yesterday: https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5131

Looks like rpms packages are fine but dnf doesn't resolve dependencies properly(?)


Description of problem:

Clean new installation of Fedora 29, I don't have many packages/dependencies so that's probably why I stumbled upon this.

Running `vlc -v` results:

[00005593a1db6590] main libvlc warning: cannot load module `/usr/lib64/vlc/plugins/audio_output/libjack_plugin.so' (libjack.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)
[00005593a1db6590] main libvlc warning: cannot load module `/usr/lib64/vlc/plugins/access/libaccess_jack_plugin.so' (libjack.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)
[00005593a1db6590] main libvlc warning: cannot load module `/usr/lib64/vlc/plugins/codec/libfluidsynth_plugin.so' (libjack.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)

Solved by: `dnf install jack-audio-connection-kit`


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

# rpm -q libsolv hawkey dnf
libsolv-0.7.2-1.fc29.x86_64
package hawkey is not installed
dnf-4.0.9-2.fc29.noarch


Steps to Reproduce:

1. enable rpmfusion
2. dnf install vlc
3. vlc segfaults

Actual results:

libjack.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


Expected results:

jack-audio-connection-kit installed as a dependency for vlc


Additional info:
Is hawkey supposed to be installed by default? I don't have it on my system.

Hi, I tried on fresh Fedora 29 to do following:
1. enable rpmfusion-free repository
2. # dnf install vlc
Dnf reported that jack-audio-connection-kit would be installed as a dependency, so everything looks all right.

Are you able to provide dnf.log from installing vlc?

Comment 2 Luke 2019-01-07 21:13:53 UTC
Created attachment 1519076 [details]
dnf.log

Comment 3 Luke 2019-01-07 21:17:32 UTC
Added dnf.log file. Be mindful that I interrupted first vlc installation (ctrl+c) when dnf asked yes/no, scroll log lower for the real one. Not connected with the issue. I was doing some other system maintenance and didn't want to wait for vlc installation.

Comment 4 Marek Blaha 2019-01-08 06:35:13 UTC
Thanks, now I think I see the problem:

$ dnf repoquery --requires vlc | grep jack
libjack.so.0
libjack.so.0()(64bit)

So vlc does not require literally jack-audio-connection-kit, but the libjack.so.0.

$ dnf provides 'libjack.so.0'
Carla-2.0.0-0.5.20181225git2f3a442.fc29.i686 : Audio plugin host
Repo        : updates
Matched from:
Provide    : libjack.so.0

jack-audio-connection-kit-1.9.12-6.fc29.i686 : The Jack Audio Connection Kit
Repo        : fedora
Matched from:
Provide    : libjack.so.0

There are two packages providing requested 'libjack.so.0' - jack-audio-connection-kit and Carla. According to your dnf.log, solver had chosen the Carla package as a provider of libjack.so.0, which is perfectly valid solution. If vlc is not satisfied with Carla, it should probably request directly jack-audio-connection-kit package instead. I would reassign this bug to the vlc component, but since vlc is not part of Fedora, I'm closing it here as "not a bug". You can add link to this bug to your vlc bug on rpmfusion bugzilla. Hope it will help. If you are not satisfied with the explanation, please feel free to reopen the bug.

Thanks Marek for the great answer!
I'll link this bug report to the rpmfusion one.

Comment 6 Nicolas Chauvet (kwizart) 2019-01-08 18:31:33 UTC
Carla should in for no reason provide libjack.so.0 at all.
Seems like it's been fixed in fedora updates-testing.
